This one shocked me, much like Metal Church at the Berlin Anjelah Johnson ($30-$37) Dec. 4 Motor City Casino Detroit Antemasque w/Le Butcherettes Nov. 15 Magic Stik Detroit shocked me earlier this year. Both of these bands draw thousands of fans when they play Antemasque w/Le Butcherettes Nov. 16 across the Atlantic, yet we get to see them in a small, intimate venue. It’s pretty exiting if Art “Turk” Burton & The Congo Square Ensemble ($5) Nov. 8 American Legion Post 148 Fort Wayne you have any interest in seeing a legendary metal band.

However, an interesting story regarding the lack of Platinum albums in Beach Boys Dec. 16 Lerner Theatre Elkhart 2014 caught my attention recently. Platinum certifications are awarded to albums that sell Beach Boys ($59-$99) Dec. 17 Kalamazoo State Theatre Kalamazoo a million copies, and there haven’t been any albums by a single musical artist that have Blue October ($15) Nov. 23 The Vogue Indianapolis sold that many copies this year. To be fair, the Frozen soundtrack has sold three million Bob Dylan Nov. 8 Cadillac Palace Theatre Chicago albums this year, but no single artist has really come close on his or own; Beyonce’s 2013 Bob Dylan Nov. 9 Cadillac Palace Theatre Chicago Bob Dylan Nov. 10 Cadillac Palace Theatre Chicago self-titled album has come the closest, with 766,000 copies sold this year. That’s likely Bob Dylan Nov. 12 State Theatre Cleveland to change with this week’s Taylor Swift album being released, but Swift will be a small and the Silver Bullet Band Dec. 9 Van Andel Arena Grand Rapids consolation prize for an industry that is wallowing in mediocre sales. Some may even say Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Dec. 11 United Center Chicago Swift is mediocre. I didn’t say that, but some might.
